The new logo is a sign that the company is looking to freshen up its image for the next phase in its history. From there, Red Hat started its so-called Open Brand Project, where the company collected feedback from employees on how to modernize the brand, and came up with 45 different hat-related logos before settling on the final version.

"There was even one guy in Colombia, he had this tattoo before he was working at Red Hat," Madrigal said."He was a fan all the way. I said, 'that's crazy,' but he said it's something that represented really big for him at that point...I now understand it's more than just a logo." The people with the new tattoo have already been dubbed the"tat pack," and employees only expect this select group to grow.
